【題目】Two weeks before my 12th birthday, my teacher asked me to conduct an experiment. When I mixed some powder together, they exploded. Molten liquid hit me in the face, but I felt no pain.

I vividly remember standing there in a state of calm. I thought I was in a dream, but however hard I struggled to swim to the surface of consciousness, I couldn’t wake up. I didn’t understand how terrifying it was until I heard people saying, ＂Who’s that?＂ That’s when I knew I was unrecognizable.

I was taken to hospital, but the doctors didn’t know what to do with me. Later I was flown to Houston for surgery. Between the ages of 13 and 16, I had 40 operations. As each operation came and went, my vision would come back, then fade again. Eventually, it faded completely and I had what was left of my eyes removed for cosmetic reasons.

Since then, I have lived in total darkness. Most blind people, even if they don’t have any sight they’re aware of, are still able to sense light. That gives them a sense of day and night. But not me. I absolutely lost that sense of time passing.

For many years, I felt my sight loss darkening my life like the loss of my parents from which I would never recover. But when I was in my 40s, I realized I had to find a way to live. I trained to become a counselor, and that has helped me see my experiences in a different way. I can’t fix people’s broken lives — just like I can’t fix my sight — but I can help them find a way to manage.

Sometimes it feels as if all the struggles and negative experiences I’ve lived through were in fact a kind of preparation for helping others to make their own way towards the light.

【1】How did the writer feel when the mixed powder exploded?

A. Painful. B. Frightened. C. Calm. D. Desperate.

【2】 What can we know about the writer?

A. She recovered her sight at last.

B. She just has slight sense of sight.

C. She is now living a meaningful life.

D. She received 40 operations in 28 years.

【3】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Telling her own experience.

B. Encouraging the blind to cheer up.

C. Calling on people to care for the blind.

D. Warning students doing experiments is dangerous.

【答案】一般

【解析】

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
B
Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he'd told his wife. “I'll look after the kids，and you can go visit your mom.”
Things started well, but just after eight o'clock, his three little “good kids”—Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex's head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(節(jié)拍). Mike chanted “Where's my toast, where's my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.
Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy's underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.
By ten o'clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.
At exactly 11: 17, Brad called the daycare centre(日托所). “I suddenly have to go into work and my wife's away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?“ The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.
（1）When his wife left home, Brad expected to________.
A.enjoy his first day off work
B.watch TV talk show with his children
C.go out for a walk in the park
D.read the newspaper to his children
（2）Which of the following did Randy do?
A.Drawing on the wall.
B.Eating apple jam.
C.Feeding the fish.
D.Reading in a room.
（3）Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?
A.Because he wanted to clean up his house.
B.Because he suddenly had to go to his office.
C.Because he had to take his wife back home.
D.Because he found it hard to manage his boys.
（4）This text is developed________.
A.by space
B.by time
C.by process
D.by comparison
